Darn clouds, they parked themselves over me. I had a short period of clear skies last night. First I took the dog for a walk, fiquring I had plenty of time to observe. So I setup my scope, to observe the milstar at 68 degrees West. Well no sooner then that, and them blasted white things came! So no observing of it's main body flare:( I then waited for milstar 6 to come out of shadow. Easy to see on the tv. At 6:25 UTC ( Oct 16 ) it appeared to be mag +6.9 Shortly after the sky clouded up again. Latter when Shenzhou 6 was going to pass by, all there was was clouds. So I can observe now is the long march rocket and Shenzhou 6 orbital module, until they decay from orbit. Now I know why it was cloudy for so many days, because of the china manned mission! Now that's almost over, I'll watch the skies will clear up. Kevin __________________________________ Yahoo!
